Biden’s secret email life
Biden wrote over five thousand emails under his various aliases, and the National Archives is stonewalling about releasing them:
In its filing, SLF’s [Southeastern Legal Foundation] legal team made clear that it was requesting documents that NARA already admitted holding: “By its own admission, Defendant has possession, custody, and control of the records to which SLF seeks access.”
This assertion goes back to almost the beginning of the SLF quest for the Biden emails under assumed names.
The foundation first filed its Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, request on June 9, 2022, and on June 22, 2022, NARA gave two responses.
That was prior to the 2022 elections, of course. Wouldn’t want to negatively influence the Democrats’ chances. Nor would they want to do that now, or ever.
And the story made me think of this Leonard Cohen song (weird video, though – this is the first time I’ve ever watched it):
iI appears that Joe Biden was using four different email alias accounts while he was VP (and while he held the Ukraine portfolio for the White House), and that there are several emails in the archives that show HUNTER BIDEN as an info addressee.
The FOIA request was made to the National Archives in June of 2022. FOIA requires a response, IIRC, within two weeks, and requires the office handling the request to send responsive records in a reasonable time. One year is NOT reasonable. And some of these emails would have been germane in the investigation that has been ongoing. And that investigation is running the statute of limitations, which means by the time the records have been received and publicized, they will no longer be useful for any investigation. Dishonest, corrupt, duplicitous, and criminal.
Is there any way the statute of limitations can be reset? I doubt it.
I think this is scandalous. I think the official in the National Archive who is responsible for the delay should be charged with some crime, I just don’t know what it would be.
F, the National Archive response wasn’t offered in this post, but it occurs to me that you’ve answered your own question: We can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
